The remarks on the petition include a message to the university: "Anti-Semitic Fashion Designer John Galliano should not teach at the school as it undermines the school's respect for their entire Jewish body."

It is actually a crazy appointment considering The New School's legacy. The University in Exile was a graduate division founded in 1933 as a haven for Jewish academics and writers fleeing the Nazi regime. And soon there'll be an instructor on staff who's famous for saying, "I love Hitler."
